It is important to consider card selection before discarding to the crib.
This software is a 2-player game that utilizes a standard deck of playing cards. At the start of each round, the dealer will deal 6 cards to each player and the players will each discard 2 cards to the crib. A card from the remaining stock is then dealt and displayed as the "starter" card at the bottom right corner of the screen. If the starter is a J, the dealer is awarded 2 points. The cards in the crib and the starter are reserved for later use.
During the round, the player who is not the dealer starts by playing a card from his hand, followed by the dealer who can also play a card from his hand. Each card played carries a certain amount of points, with A having 1 point, 2 having 2 points, and so on, while J, Q and K carry 10 points. The current count of points is displayed on the left of the screen, and the total points from the cards played must not exceed 31.
If a player cannot play any cards, he needs to say "go," and the other player can play cards from his hand until they cannot do so. If the total point is exactly 31, the player who played the last card will get 2 points; otherwise, he will receive 1 point. The count is then reset to 0, and the player who did not play the last card starts the next round.
Throughout the round, players can also score points in several ways. Firstly, when the total point is exactly 15, the player who played the card will receive 2 points. Secondly, if at least 3 newly played cards form a run of consecutive ranks, the player can receive points equal to the length of the run; for example, the player can get 3 points for completing a run of three. Lastly, when 2, 3, or 4 newly played cards are of the same rank, the player can receive 2, 6, and 12 points, respectively.
Once both players have run out of cards, an additional scoring phase begins. During this phase, players will score points based on the cards in their hands, the crib, and the starter card. The player with the highest total score at the end of the game wins.
Overall, this software is an engaging and challenging game that requires players to think strategically and make careful decisions to avoid giving their opponent the advantage. With its clear display and easy-to-follow rules, it is a great option for anyone looking for a fun and addictive card game.
